Soccer fans got up early to watch Team Mexico play Sweden in their third World Cup game at the Machete Beer House in National City. Mexico fans were disappointed when their team lost 3-0 but were almost instantly given a reprieve from elimination after Korea beat Germany 2-0 which assured Mexico a place in the next round. After the game a crowd of about 200 people gathered on Highland Avenue at East Plaza bled to wave flags and sing songs in celebration of the turn of events.
